Well, yesterday Justin found out he had to fly some plane somewhere. So, he is gone, he flew a plane across the country and he will be back tomorrow. There is nothing like an impromptu trip. So, I have had the house and the dog to myself for sometime now.

The dog won't stop whining, thinking dad will be home soon... but little does she know that soon will not be until tomorrow afternoon. So for now she will just have to keep chewing on her bone, very noisily.

ANTM season finale was on tonight. I really wanted Allison to win, but I am still happy for the outcome. I think Teyona wanted it much more than anyone else, so I am so happy for her. I am sure she will be a great model. I am excited for the next ANTM, I mean short models, how awesome is that going to be to watch.

So, I am still completely freaked out of the dark and the outdoors in the dark, well I guess I have only been afraid since I thought I heard a dog barking not too far from our house a couple weeks ago, and it turns out its a coyote. A COYOTE, freak me out! Seriously. I wish no one told me that. I just got over my dog fear, and now I am going to have to get over a coyote fear.

Sue and I had dinner together. I love pasta and I swear I could eat it everyday if I had to. I love pasta, it just doesn't love my waistline. Speaking of waistlines, I am hoping to shrink mine soon. I am kinda upset that I now have to work hard to get awesome abs, but first things first is getting rid of these ugly love handles. I would kill to have my body I had in 2002. If only I could go back in time. What would I do differently to get my hot body... um, learn to workout, and somehow enjoy it, so I dont have to do it now, when I am over weight, and out of shape... My goal is to look hot a year from now, which is when my husband should be coming home from his first deployment. I would love to be the hot wife I used to be when we started dating. Even being smaller than that would be awesome. Is it possible to lose 50 lbs in a year? I guess I will find out, starting June 1st. If anyone has some awesome diet plans with simple workout stuff, let me know. I need to do something!!

Our hosue is finally coming together. I have learned that sliding doors are not my friend. Not only did I break my aunt and uncles door (luckily my dad helped me fix it). I snapped the plastice off of our sliding door handle. I hope you can buy that peice and its an easy fix. THe bummer things about renting is that I have to do it, especially if we are going to be here for another two and a half years...

Oh and I did I mention the dog is still wandering the house whimpering and looking for dad. Some reason she doesn't understand me when I say he will not be home tonight. I hope she is not too bad when I leave to go to Hoefer's wedding.

I keep thinking of things I need to inform the world about but anyways, I broke some plastic thing on my laptop. I really hope its not important, cause I think I might cry. Ok, I wont cry, because I am pretty sure its not important.

Well, I should probably head to bed soon, I have to work at 9 in the morning... starting next week I actually work real hours and get to observe classrooms!! Yeah, I finally get to get into my work and be a professional.

I really got to learn what all these silly noises my dog makes means. I think right now it means, WHERE IS DADDY?? I MISS HIM!!! soon puppy, soon. but not soon enough, just wait till he leaves us for 6 months. Fritz is going through that right now.

That's right, the dog peed on our bed. Its 10pm on a Saturday night, an the dog peed on our bed. So now we have to wash our comforter and sheets, and mattress pad before we can go to bed tonight.

She knows she did wrong which is good, but she is so cute its hard to stay mad at her... I am going to be a terrible mother. I can see it now....

Our neighbor leaves for deployment tomorrow. I think we are going to take him and his wife out there for the "sendoff" -- if there is any (which I hope there is). We went over there and had a little cookout before he has to go. I think its going to be really hard when Justin has to deploy later in the year.

Hoefer's wedding is just around the corner and I am getting super excited. I can't wait to see her and be there for her special day. I am also excited to see friends of mine that I haven't seen since my wedding. It should be a weekend to remember.

I have a really bad craving to play monopoly, ok and even bigger craving for two things. A Ninentdo Dsi and a digital SLR camera. I am leaning towards a Canon, but now I just have to save up the 800 bucks I need to get it. I guess I could pay 35 bucks and fix my Sony camera, but I really want a SLR. I am a huge dork.

It is getting kind of late, and I am super tired -- oh wait, I have to clean all my bedding before I can go to bed - Thanks dog! ah.

Today was my first day of work... paperwork that is, and my first day off is tomorrow. I think I am really going to like this job. The people I met were great. I am super excited.

Mathis had her baby!! I am so happy for her. She is a mom just in time for Mother's Day! I am so happy that everything went great for them, well besides the long labor she has an adorable baby boy! I can't wait to meet him.

We also celebrated Chris' birthday this past weekend. The dance party didn't really happen. But I sure did look good ;) I love costumes.

Lucie seems to be getting bigger everyday. I hope she doesn't get too much bigger. She was really happy that we let her kennel be a little bit bigger, and she was super excited that Mom came home today so she didn't have to be in the kennel forever... then we went for a walk. The walk was long and we met a new friend along the way. The sweetest old man was walking her. Lucie wanted to play, but we needed to keep going.

I also rearranged the living room. It looks so much bigger! Now, I just need to get stuff on the walls.

Well, I am seem to be super busy, but I am really not. Time to relax and watch some tv.
